Personal Statement: A Thank You Letter For Alford Scholarship
I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for selecting me to be awarded with the John and Mary Alford scholarship. I cannot put into words how jubilant I was to receive news that I would be the recipient of this scholarship. The Alford family and the donors of this scholarship will always have my gratefulness. I am currently majoring in Early Childhood Education in hopes of being a Special Education teacher. I am a full-time employee, as well as a student, and have been struggling with paying my tuition. It has been a triumph being a new adult in the world, but I am looking forward to accomplishing my studies, and looking back at this time in my life with pride. With being rewarded with this scholarship, my financial burdens will be

    Growing up, I have always had big dreams of what I was going to do when I became older. It’s hard to believe that this stage in life has already arrived, but I know that I’m prepared for it and have great expectations for what is to come. I’ve set goals out for myself and plan on achieving them, but I can’t do so without the proper education. Unfortunately, education is expensive, and my parents have laid the responsibility of paying for college on my own shoulders. I can’t reach my full potential and become the best person I can be without your help in supporting me with financial aid. That is why I exceptionally need this scholarship.…

    Since the age of seven, I have known that I want to be a performer. I remember that as a child I fantasized about sold out theatres and New York City skylines. My dream of being on Broadway has always been an essential part of who I am and drives me to achieve greatness, whether it be in school, in theatre, or in my daily life. This want to be successful makes me a great candidate for National Honor Society because I have a steady track record in the key principles emphasized in membership.…

    Today I received a message in my student email about my academic progress. I was denied Financial Aid due to my poor academic performance my 2015-2016 semester at Mesa Community College. The reason for not meeting academic requirements the previous semester was because of my lack of organization with working, sports, and studying. I take full responsibility in not putting my academics before sports and work leading me to write this letter. I truly believed I could juggle working 20 hours a week as a swim instructor and also be a student-athlete for Mesa Community College while maintaining strong grades. I soon found myself struggling in classes and doing poorly on exams because I was not using my time correctly and pushing my school work to the side. In high school I worked as a swim instructor and ran cross country as I am now, I put little effort into studying and did what I had to do to get by. Those poor habits followed me into college and are now backfiring with proof through my GPA.…

    During my first year at Florida State University I plan to grow as an individual. To achieve this is not only important to fill in your head with loads of knowledge, but also to see other cultures, meet new people, discover myself, discover my weaker and/or stronger points, and squeeze my stronger abilities at my maximum to achieve my goals. I plan to help others as much as I’ve been doing until now, or even more. I believe in creating a better atmosphere where peers help each other in whatever they need. I’ve been lucky spent almost sixteen years of my life in a school where they taught me to excel by working as a team. I plan to bring these philosophy to FSU because if instead of competing with one another, we bring what we are best at to…

    To be able to succeed in everything is a goal most people have for themselves. With success comes happiness, comfortability, and a sense of accomplishment. This is my greatest goal in life, to be able to make something of myself; to become someone no one else could imagine me being. This kind of motivation and perseverance that I display is what I believe can make me an excellent candidate for the National Honors Society. I have always set outstanding goals for myself, putting the pressure on myself I needed to so that I would get the outcome I desired. This strength shows through my grades and the rigorous classes I take, as well as my growth in character. Not only do I excel in my perseverance, but I believe I am a strong leader here at Central Dauphin, someone who is not only helpful in the classroom, but also in the community.…

    Many students graduate from college with enormous student loan debt or limit their education in an attempt to control costs. Because scholarships are free money, students can focus on their careers instead of thinking about how they will repay loans. This allows me to go into job fields that require postgraduate training or to pursue careers in public service or other areas that don’t pay high salaries. By removing financial barriers, scholarships make education and career goals easier to obtain.…
